Packaged in individual wooden cases, perfect for gifting, the PX VORS, though labelled 30 Years in fact averages a mighty 40 years old. Counterintuitively, the VORS is less dense than the regular VOS 20 Years as it comes from a solera founded with vineyards in Puerto de Santa María, where the Atlantic influence is strong. Moreover, winemaking has evolved in the intervening decades, as producers nowadays select the most raisined grapes for PX. In the early days, grapes were picked with a little more flesh to them. In conjunction with particularly fresh Atlantic parcels, this unbelievable Sherry offers a breathtaking combination of chalkiness, salinity, fruit character and balsamic notes. Only 300bts are ever produced over a five year period.
Bodegas Tradición is a unique Sherry Bodega that bottles consistently genre-defining, mature wines that are a veritable assault on the senses - in the nicest possible way. By focusing on very old casks that have not been chill filtered, blended, stabilized, clarified, sweetened, or seen the addition of sulphites, Tradición have proven themselves one of the very best in the business. Proudly bottling small-batches with the highest average ages on the market, the range includes a twelve year old Fino, approximately four times as old and complex as your average Fino on the high street, and an Amontillado, Oloroso and Palo Cortado with average ages far exceeding the thirty-year VORS designates on the label. A twenty year old Cream Sherry VOS is the best we have ever tasted, the range capped by a lusciously sweet yet layered twenty year old Pedro Ximenez VOS. Each category provides great intellectual stimulation. Like all great wines though, the Bodegas Tradición Sherries are as splendid alone as they are with the right dishes, with food pairing potential way beyond the simple aperitif.
